...Severe Storms Possible Tomorrow...

ANOTHER SPRING-LIKE DAY: We are forecasting highs in the low 70s again
today; about 15 degrees above average for early February in Alabama.
After morning clouds, we expect intervals of sunshine during the
midday and afternoon hours along with a stiff southerly breeze. We
could see a few showers on radar today and tonight, but they should be
very isolated, and mainly across the Tennessee Valley region of
extreme North Alabama.

TO THE WEST: There is a moderate risk of severe weather today across
Northeast Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, Northwest Louisiana, and the
southwest part of Arkansas. Surrounding that, a large slight risk area
extends from Central Texas to Missouri. Severe storms should develop
in this region in response to a dynamic weather system coming out of
the Southwest U.S. This system will blow into Alabama during the day
tomorrow.

THE ALABAMA SEVERE WEATHER THREAT: At this point it looks like the
primary threat of severe weather tomorrow will be in the 12:00 to 6:00
p.m. time frame. It looks like your standard early season event that
features very good dynamics, but marginal thermodynamics. The primary
threat will come from damaging straight line winds, but based on the
projected wind profiles, a few isolated tornadoes will be possible as
well. Tomorrow will be a day when you want to be close to a good
source of weather information in the event severe weather watches and
warnings are needed.

REST OF THE WEEK AND THE WEEKEND: Dry air moves in quickly late
tomorrow night, and Thursday looks like a day with ample sunshine and
a high in the mid 60s. Then, clouds move in quickly Thursday night,
and a few periods of rain are likely on Friday as another impulse in
the fast flow across the southern U.S. moves across. That rain should
be gone by Friday night, and at this point it looks like the weekend
ahead will be dry with a high in the upper 50s Saturday, followed by
low 60s on Sunday.

STORM ALERT 2009: I will be doing a one-man version of Storm Alert
2009 tonight at Sylvan Springs United Methodist Church, on Alabama
Highway 269. This is a place hit hard by the EF5 tornado on April 8,
1998. Tonight's show will begin at 7:00; I promise to have you on your
way by 8:00. Then, our regular show this week will be Thursday night
at 7:00 in downtown Jasper at the CHS building. You can meet our
entire weather team, get some cool prizes to take home, and learn more
about Alabama weather. The point of this annual weather tour is
getting Alabamians ready for the spring tornado season season, which
is just around the corner.
